Genes and Group Membership Predict Gidgee Skink (Egernia stokesii) Reproductive Pairs.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jun 2017

Abstract excerpt

Due to their role in mate choice, disease resistance and kin recognition, genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are good candidates for investigating genetic-based mate choice. MHC-based mate choice is context dependent and influenced by many factors including social structure. Social structure diversity makes the Egernia group of lizards suitable for comparative studies of MHC-based mate choice. We...
